Don't Raid Our Clean-Energy Funds!
Our State Director, Ron Urban, recommends we all educate ourselves on the ongoing struggle regarding NYS Budget and the environment.
Rather that directing 100% of the dollars that were raised for clean-energy initiatives, Governor David Paterson wants to rob the carbon-auction fund to subsidize other programs in the state budget.
TU National is asking for our support in calling our representatives regarding the Frac Act. The FRAC Act would remove the Safe Drinking Water Act exemption given to the oil and gas industry in 2005. Click Here to learn more.

John Miller is a former member and past president of Columbia-Greene Chapter of TU. He left the area several years ago to pursue a career as a guide. He is licensed in both New York and Michigan and has spent many hours in both states in that capacity. Along with this new career John developed a serious interest in photography, began purchasing commercial photography equipment, and focused primarily on trout food, mostly mayflies in various stages of development. He graciously donated several of his photos to our annual banquet last year and they were purchased by attendees. John is increasingly receiving public recognition for his stunning photos.
